So if I'm playing a bar table game and I only need the 8 ball, but my opponent fouls because the 8 ball is behind the line what do I do?I don't like playing ball in hand anywhere on the table all the time, but its really annoying in that situation.

Ball in hand is the best thing that ever happened to 8 ball. Bad news is that nobody in a bar table game will play that way. It used to be that you could spot the 8 ball and shoot from behind the line. I tried that one time in a home game and almost started a fight. Great rule though.

my friends play it the "bar"-way , it annoys me but hey , if they dont wanna play the real rules ... and they actually scratch te cue ball on purpose (!) to give me a hard shot ) mostly when i have to hit the 8-ball , makin me foul 3 times leading to loss ( i know thats not a rule at 8-ball, but at 9 ball )
